Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, with reference to the Government response to the Ella Adoo-Kissi Debrah Coroner’s report published in June 2021, when his Department plans to open its public consultation on new legal targets for PM2.5 and other pollutants.

We will shortly publish a public consultation on the proposed legally-binding targets to be set under the Environment Act 2021 framework, including for air quality. The targets will then be brought forward in secondary legislation by 31 October 2022.
